(LOW AVAILABILITY) Weaving & Traditional Crafts

Join us for ‘Weaving & Traditional Crafts’, taking place on Thursday 19th March, a public holiday, from 10:00am to 12:00pm at the historic Ta’ Kola Windmill, Xagħra. This event includes a guided tour in Maltese or English, and a hands-on family-friendly workshop.

Set within this beautifully preserved 18th-century windmill – one of the few surviving from the Knights’ period – the experience transports participants back to a time when windmills stood at the heart of village life. During the guided tour, participants will discover the importance of cotton in the Maltese Islands, a vital resource that shaped local livelihoods and domestic crafts during the time of the Knights of St John and beyond.

Participants will then have the opportunity to observe a traditional weaver at work and will be invited to try basic weaving techniques themselves, gaining hands-on insight into skills passed down through generations.

Tickets may be purchased online at Store – Heritage Malta or from any Heritage Malta museum or site.

Matul id-dawra gwidata, se jiskopru l-importanza tal-qoton fil-Gżejjer Maltin, riżorsa essenzjali li sawret l-għajxien u s-snajja’ domestiċi fi żmien l-Ordni ta’ San Ġwann u anke wara.
